I am kinda seeing the same thing. I bought my JD 3039R back when Covid was starting during the summer of 2020. I have noticed recently that the new ones are substantially higher. Prices on used ones similar to mine are bringing more than I paid for mine new.

I know it seems obvious but start by greasing it good.

Dealer didn't have to claim any year since the model number on the hood wasn't produced until the later year. Proof is right there on the hood.

Yes, play nice unless or until you find out for sure that you have been taken advantage of.

I don't think it did iether. I priced a new 3901 in 2020 when I was shopping for a new tractor.

I purchased my 2019 JD in June of 2020.

I prefer removing the loader before bush hogging. It don't take long and makes a more enjoyable experience.

I believe the prices posted on tractordata.com are without a loader. (Something to keep in mind)

Simpson with Honda engine from Tractor Supply.

SCAG has a '61' inch Turf Tiger with a Kubota diesel in it. I have a '48' Tiger Cub gas model that has treated me well for the last 19 years. Love my JD 3r tractor but my SCAG ztr has treated me well.

I was interested in a Kioti but closest dealer was an 90 minute drive.

Guess some JD dealers differ. My local JD dealer has a decated separate sales staff for compact tractors and lawn equipment. Also separate service technicians dedicated to the compacts and lawn equipment.

Same goes for the loader in my opinion.

Leach or a mooch. They will keep doing it as long as they get by with it. If you give these type of people an inch,they will take a mile.

Wow,I priced a Grand L3560 GST with loader a couple grand under that 2 1/2years ago. Guess COVID changed things alot?
